More than US$128 million in 2026 project budget of CCP’s Fujian Provincial Department of Veterans Affairs may actually be used for military purpose

https://tyjrswt.fujian.gov.cn/zwgk/zfxxgkzl/zfxxgkml/cwgk/202603/P020260305525049497829.pdf The 2026 Departmental Budget of the Fujian Provincial Department of Veterans Affairs of the CCP

The 2026 departmental budget of the CCP’s Fujian Provincial Department of Veterans Affairs presents more than RMB 860 million(approximately US$128.55 million, converted at the Bank of China’s USD selling rate of RMB 6.6902 per US dollar on November 14, 2026) in project expenditures, which may all be military expenditures, and none of these expenditures are classified as national defense spending.

Otherwise, the CCP’s Fujian Provincial Department of Veterans Affairs would not have listed its main work responsibilities as: “According to relevant confidentiality regulations, this section contains classified information and is therefore not disclosed.”

Under the CCP’s Law on Guarding State Secrets, classified military matters constitute state secrets.中共福建省退役军人事务厅2026年部门预算： 福建省退役军人事务厅2026年度部门预算列示的项目支出超过8.6亿可能全部都是军费支出，却未被列入国防支出。否则中共福建省退役军人事务厅不应该把主要工作任务列示为“根据有关保密规定，该部分内容涉密，不予公开”。根据中共保守国家秘密法规定，军事涉密事项属于国家秘密。

A specific example of this budget classification is the Fujian Provincial Military Food Supply Station, a subordinate institution of the Fujian Provincial Department of Veterans Affairs. Its 2026 budget explicitly funds military supply support for combat operations, military exercises, emergency response and other military activities, yet its expenditures are classified under social security and employment, healthcare, and housing support rather than national defense.

The 2026 budget expenditure of the Fujian Provincial Military Food Supply Station, a subordinate department of the Fujian Provincial Department of Veterans Affairs, amounts to RMB 5.9218 million. While it clearly serves the military activities of the Central Military Commission of the Chinese Communist Party and active-duty military personnel, the 2026 departmental budget of the Fujian Provincial Department of Veterans Affairs—which incorporates the expenditures of the Fujian Provincial Military Food Supply Station—does not allocate a single cent to national defense expenditure. This is clearly a case of international deception and a misstatement material by nature.

福建省退役军人事务厅下属部门福建省军用饮食供应站2026年预算支出为592.18万，明显服务于中共中央军委的军事活动、现役军人，但是合并了福建省军用饮食供应站支出的福建省退役军人事务厅2026年度部门预算没有一分钱列入国防支出，明显属于国际欺骗和性质重要的错报。

The main work tasks of the Fujian Provincial Military Food Supply Station in 2026 are to provide military supply support, such as the supply of military food and living materials and the transfer of sick and wounded personnel during the processes of combat operations, combat readiness exercises, cross-region mobile drills, emergency disaster relief, stability maintenance and emergency response, and the transport of new and veteran recruits carried out by the CCP troops.

福建省军用饮食供应站的2026年主要工作任务是为中共部队执行作战、战备演习、跨区机动演练、抢险救灾、维稳处突和新老兵运输等输送过程中的军用饮食、生活物资供应和伤病员转送等提供军供保障。

The 2026 budget expenditure of the Fujian Provincial Military Food Supply Station, a subordinate department of the Fujian Provincial Department of Veterans Affairs, is RMB 5.9218 million, with not a single cent listed under the national defense expenditure of the departmental budget of the Fujian Provincial Military Food Supply Station, and it is mistakenly listed under social security and employment expenditure, healthcare expenditure, and housing support expenditure as RMB 5.1584 million, RMB 239.4 thousand , and RMB 524 thousand respectively.

福建省退役军人事务厅下属部门福建省军用饮食供应站2026年的预算支出为592.18万，没有一分钱列入福建省军用饮食供应站部门预算的国防支出，被错误地在社会保障和就业支出、卫生健康支出、住房保障支出分别列示515.84万、23.94万、52.4万。

The overarching goal for the Fujian Provincial Military Food Supply Station’s RMB 5.9218 million budget in 2026 is to “high-quality complete military supply support tasks during troop exercises, emergency disaster relief, emergency response, and the transport of new and veteran recruits.” Its social benefit indicator is to “provide logistical services for the training and exercises of military officers and soldiers, aiding in the generation of combat effectiveness.” The satisfaction indicator target is a “military supply support quality and military evaluation satisfaction rate” of ≥90%.

福建省退役军人事务厅下属部门福建省军用饮食供应站2026年预算支出592.18万的总体目标是“高质量完成部队演习、抢险救灾、应急处突、新老兵运输过程中的军供保障任务”， 社会效益指标是“军供保障为部队官兵演训提 供后勤服务，助力战斗力生成”， 满意度的指标值为“军供保障质量，部队评价满意度”≥90%。

Active-Duty Military Leadership Within the Fujian Provincial Department of Veterans Affairs

On April 9, 2026, Zhou Xiaosong, Deputy Director of the Political Work Bureau of the PLA Fujian Provincial Military Command, who concurrently serves as a Chinese Communist Party Leadership Group Member and Deputy Director of the Fujian Provincial Department of Veterans Affairs and Deputy Director of the Provincial Office for Supporting the Military and Giving Preferential Treatment to Military Personnel and Their Families, led a delegation to inspect the Fujian Provincial Military Food Supply Station.

Zhou inspected the station’s intelligent military kitchen, examining the operation of its facilities and equipment, hot-meal preparation processes, and emergency support capabilities. He emphasized that military food supply support is an important component of supporting military forces in preparing for and conducting war, and that the station must remain committed to serving national defense while continuously improving its support capabilities and emergency response capacity.

Officials of the station stated that they would follow the requirements set by the department’s leadership, establish a provincial-level specialized team, deepen combat-oriented training and exercises, and continuously improve their ability to support military preparedness and combat operations.

Zhou Xiaosong, Deputy Director of the Political Work Bureau of the PLA Fujian Provincial Military Command, has concurrently served as Deputy Director of the Fujian Provincial Department of Veterans Affairs since Feb 3rd, 2026. https://www.toutiao.com/article/7603548024345756210/

Military-Related Spending in CCP Regime's Civilian Budget Accounts: The Beijing Case

 

I. The Central Question

How much military spending is concealed in CCP regime public budget accounts under civilian items across Communist China?

This investigation examines the 2026 budget of the CCP regime’s Beijing Municipal Veterans Affairs Bureau, the participation of military representatives in Beijing’s local budget process, and the classification of military-related support expenditures.

The central issue is straightforward: military-related services are being financed through budget classifications that are not labelled national defence expenditure.

The official budget documents make it possible to examine the amounts, the stated purposes of the expenditure, and the institutions responsible for providing the services.

II. Active-Duty Military Personnel Participate in Beijing’s Local Budget Process

In January 2026, Beijing held the Fourth Session of the Sixteenth Beijing Municipal Assembly. The session considered the municipal budget and the report on the execution of the 2025 budget, together with the 2026 budget proposal. https://www.beijing.gov.cn/zhengce/zhengcefagui/202602/t20260206_4495110.html

Among the representatives participating in Beijing’s Assembly are military personnel elected through military constituencies and serving under the command structure of the CCP Central Military Commission and the PLA Central Theater Command. https://haokan.baidu.com/v?pd=wisenatural&vid=13717298552931602307

https://weibo.com/tv/show/1034:5259781619777538

This raises a fundamental public-accountability question:

Active-duty military personnel participate as Assembly representatives in deliberations concerning a local public budget that includes expenditure for services supporting military units stationed in Beijing.

The issue is not simply that military representatives attend a local legislative meeting. It is that the same budget process concerns the allocation of public funds for military-related services.

The official Beijing municipal budget report was submitted for deliberation at the Assembly session on January 25, 2026. The Assembly subsequently adopted the resolution concerning the 2025 budget execution and the 2026 budget on January 29.

III. Wang Xianglong: A Beijing Garrison Leader Who Is Also Listed as an Assembly Representative

On January 15, 2026, the PLA Beijing Garrison’s Tenth Party Committee held its Ninth Plenary Session. https://news.qq.com/rain/a/20260114V06A0D00

The official report identified Wang Xianglong among the Beijing Garrison leaders attending the meeting, alongside Chen Yuan, Zhang Lin, Liang Feng, Xu Yuxi and Guo Jinhai.

Wang Xianglong also remains listed as a Beijing Municipal Assembly representative. https://www.bjrd.gov.cn/rdzl/ljrd/ljsrddbmd/dbmd/202212/t20221231_2888377.html

IV. Wang Shijie: From Military Delegation Membership to the Standing Committee

Wang Shijie provides another important example.

Wang Shijie was among members of the PLA and CCP Armed Police delegations.

The official list of members of the Standing Committee of the Sixteenth Beijing Municipal Assembly, adopted on January 29, 2026, includes Wang Shijie as a committee member. https://www.bjrd.gov.cn/rdgk/cwhzcry/202601/t20260130_4478391.html

This establishes his position in the Beijing Municipal Assembly’s Standing Committee in 2026.

His documented association with military delegations, together with his membership of the Standing Committee, raises questions about military participation in Beijing’s permanent local legislative institutions.

V. The 2026 Veterans Affairs Bureau Budget: Military Support Under Social Security and Employment

The 2026 department budget of the CCP regime’s Beijing Municipal Veterans Affairs Bureau describes responsibilities that include:

1. Organising and directing military supply services.

2. Undertaking support work for the military.

3. Providing preferential treatment and benefits for active-duty military personnel, retired military personnel, military civilian personnel and military dependants.

4. Organising services and support for sick and disabled retired military personnel.

The bureau has four subordinate budget units:

1. The bureau itself.

2. Beijing Military Retired Cadres Placement Affairs Centre.

3. Beijing Military Supply Station.

4. Beijing Veterans Affairs Service Centre.

   

The CCP regime’s Beijing Municipal Veterans Affairs Bureau reported total planned expenditure of RMB 10,633,717,765.40 for 2026. beijing.gov.cn/gongkai/caizheng/czzt/2026ys/202602/t20260228_4545823.html

Its 2026 budget includes a specific allocation of RMB 2,054,300 under the functional expenditure classification “Military Supply Support” (2082805), within Social Security and Employment Expenditures.

The allocation is for military supply support services, including the operation and maintenance of military supply stations and the provision of military transportation, accommodation and food supplies.

VI. The Military Supply Support Allocation: RMB 2,054,300

The 2026 budget includes the functional expenditure item:

2082805 — Military Supply Support (军供保障)

The planned allocation is RMB 2,054,300, entirely classified as general public budget project expenditure.

The bureau also provides for a separate project titled Military Supply Support Work Operating Expenses, with a planned allocation of RMB 653,570.

The stated project objective is to meet the requirements of military supply support tasks.

1. Equipment and other expenditure

The 2026 budget identifies the following planned expenditure components:

2. Performance indicators

The bureau’s performance indicators for military supply services include:

• Food safety complaint rate: no more than 1%.

• Troop meal-service rate: at least 90%.

• Equipment acceptance within 12 months.

• Waiting time beyond the prescribed meal time for military units: no more than one hour.

• Satisfaction rate among military personnel passing through the supply service: at least 90%.

• Satisfaction rate among equipment users: at least 90%.

  

These indicators specifically refer to military units and military personnel.

北京市退役军人事务局为2026年军供保障项目设定的绩效指标包括： 部队就餐率不低于90%； 食品安全投诉率不超过1%； 超出部队规定就餐时间不超过1小时； 过往部队官兵满意度不低于90%； 设备使用人员满意度不低于90%。 这不是抽象的退役军人福利，而是明确针对过往部队官兵的军供保障服务。

The planned expenditure therefore concerns the provision of military supply services, not simply general public welfare.

VII. The Official Definition of Military Supply Support

The official definition of the budget classification Military Supply Support, under Veterans Affairs Administration within Social Security and Employment Expenditures, states that it covers:

• The operation of military supply stations.

• Their management and maintenance.

• Expenditure supporting military transportation.

• Accommodation and food supplies for military personnel.

This definition explicitly places military transportation, accommodation and food supply services within a civilian functional expenditure category. https://tyjrswj.beijing.gov.cn/zwgk/cwgk/202608/P020260902368510456409.pdf

The classification is particularly important because these are services directly supporting military units.

The question is why expenditure for these military supply functions is recorded under Social Security and Employment Expenditures rather than National Defence Expenditures.

VIII. Actual Expenditure: Beijing’s 2025 Final Accounts

The 2025 final accounts provide evidence of actual expenditure, rather than merely planned budget allocations. tyjrswj.beijing.gov.cn/zwgk/cwgk/202608/t20260828_4841391.html

The Beijing Municipal Veterans Affairs Bureau’s 2025 final accounts reported actual expenditure of:

RMB 1,287,349.48 under Military Supply Support. tyjrswj.beijing.gov.cn/zwgk/cwgk/202608/P020260902368510543297.pdf

The Beijing Military Supply Station separately reported project expenditure of:

RMB 679,017.48.

The official project description states that the expenditure supported continuing military supply tasks and major-event support operations. It also covered food services for new recruits undergoing pre-enlistment education and recruits being transported.

The RMB 679,017.48 project expenditure and the RMB 1,287,349.48 functional classification total should not be added together: the former is a specific project expenditure within the broader military supply support category.

These 2025 final-account figures demonstrate that military supply services were actually financed through the Social Security and Employment Expenditures classification.

The CCP regime’s Beijing Municipal Veterans Affairs Bureau reported RMB 6,608,700 in expenditure for its 2025 Military Support and Outreach Program.

In its official performance report, the bureau described visiting active-duty military personnel and donating karaoke entertainment systems to military barracks. According to the bureau, these activities helped soldiers relax after training, improve their physical and mental well-being, enrich their recreational lives, increase their enthusiasm for military training, strengthen military–government and military–civilian relations, consolidate the political standing of the military-support program, and — in the bureau’s own words — “enhance the combat effectiveness of military units.”

The bureau’s own performance report therefore explicitly identifies enhancing military combat effectiveness as an objective of this publicly funded program.

The reported expenditure was recorded under civilian expenditure classifications, while the bureau’s 2025 final accounts reported zero under National Defence Expenditures. 

IX. The Broader Issue: Military-Related Spending Outside the National Defence Category

The Beijing case raises a nationwide question.

If military supply stations, military transportation, accommodation and food supplies for troops are financed through veterans affairs departments and classified under Social Security and Employment Expenditures, then the National Defence Expenditures category alone does not show the full extent of public expenditure supporting the military.

The same investigation should be conducted across other provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions.

The investigation should focus on actual final-account expenditure, not simply proposed budgets.

Why the classification matters

A public account labelled Social Security and Employment Expenditures may contain actual expenditure supporting military units.

Consequently, an examination limited to the National Defence Expenditures heading risks overlooking military-related spending recorded elsewhere.

XI. Questions Requiring Answers

1. How much military-related expenditure is recorded under civilian functional expenditure classifications across Communist China?

2. How much actual military-related expenditure is recorded under Social Security and Employment Expenditures rather than National Defence Expenditures?

3. Do other provincial and municipal veterans affairs departments finance military supply stations, military transportation, accommodation and food supplies through similar civilian budget classifications?

4. How much military-related expenditure is financed through local public budgets?

5. What role do active-duty military representatives play in deliberating and voting on local budgets that include expenditure supporting military units?

6. Why are military supply operations and services for military personnel classified under Social Security and Employment Expenditures?

7. Where is the consolidated account of military-related expenditure across all public budget classifications?

XII. Conclusion: The Published Defence Budget Is Not the Whole Picture

The 2026 Beijing budget provides a concrete example of military-related expenditure being allocated under civilian budget classifications.

The Beijing Municipal Veterans Affairs Bureau planned RMB 2,054,300 for Military Supply Support under Social Security and Employment Expenditures.

Its official budget documentation identifies services for military units, including food supply, military personnel accommodation, transportation support, military supply station operations and equipment.

The 2025 final accounts also reported RMB 1,287,349.48 in actual expenditure under the same Military Supply Support classification, including RMB 679,017.48 in project expenditure for the Beijing Military Supply Station.

Meanwhile, active-duty military personnel participate in Beijing’s local Assembly and budget deliberations.

These records raise a question extending far beyond Beijing:

How much military spending is concealed in CCP regime public budget accounts under civilian items across Communist China?

A full accounting requires examining actual expenditures across all relevant public budget classifications, rather than relying solely on the officially reported National Defence Expenditures category.
